Hi there, Can anyone help me, indoors, I cannot get the flash to stop taking so long to take a picture. Its a great camera, but this is embarrasing, when people are waiting, and the red light keeps trying to figure out what to do, and I cannot find anyone that knows how to stop the flash delay. How can I just take a pic indoors with flash, without the big delay? This is very annoying taking family photos. Thanks for any help.....

in the menu, make sure you select the setting of shutter release priority. The wait is due to the autofocus struggling to lock focus and the camera wont take a picture until the focus is locked. I forget the exact place in the menu but theres an option that allows you to take the shot whether or not the lens has locked on or not

Just to make sure its not some internal problem, try to change focus from S-AF to MF which is manual focus. then try to focus manually and when satisfied press shutter.
If flash works then good, problem is the low focus speed/slow lens.
